Well. I decided not to keep my climbing and bush forms of rose Souvenir de la Malmasion.
They made plenty of growth, but did not flower as much as I hoped they would, in a rather shady area of my garden.
I have run out of possible sunnier areas, so thought someone else might be able to give them a good home.
Two local couples decided to take one each.
We decided to hand them over at dinner in a local taverna. We invited some other friends, so it was ten of us that sat down to dinner in Yorgos and Katerina's taverna.
Well, the beer and wine flowed freely. Michaelis, Yorgos and Katerina's son played his lyra and the party got noisier and noisier.
When after seven!!!! hours, the party finally broke up, I don't think anyone was able to understand my care instructions for the roses.
Still, at least they had a good send off.
